Category Archives: Site Launches

Over the past month we have been working very hard on putting together a site for Wellington based woman, Amanda Barlow who is an incredibly talented designer and who needed a website so she could launch on her own.

She has her finger in many pies, design being her primary but she is currently building a portfolio that covers also, styling photographic sessions for photographers as well as her newest baby, photography.

Check out her site, all the design work is hers and she is available for hire should you want an experienced and talented designer backing your next venture.
We work with her on website packages also, as Mandy works so well with us. So we are happy to put together a comprehensive site package with professional branding and design, as well as builds.

The past few weeks have been a bit of a blur for me, of some very long nights and days while trying to help out a customer in a bind.
Her previous site had been designed in a way that meant when she tried to update the software, it sent the entire site into a tailspin which there was no way back from. So rather than invest time and money in recovery, she took the opportunity to move her business from a rather unsuitable system, to one designed for businesses which was a huge leap for her, but a very sensible one in terms of her new system being one that will give her extreme flexibility as well as a strong sense of security with it’s entire core based around the requirements of running a business – and a successful one at that.

We got the site up and running in record time, albeit a very bare bones version at this stage, however MellyPop are happy with the layout and feel, and are adding stock like crazy so they can get back on track as soon as possible.
I’d say it won’t take her more than a week or two to get everything loaded up and I’ll be working a bit more on the admin side of it for another few weeks getting a few custom sections sorted and perfect.

I do enjoy the huge range of abilities Magento offer when it comes to eCommerce.

With a little downtime on our side coming into the new year, we decided that it was time for a makeover, and to add to our site, the ability to communicate with our visitors better.
We took a holiday over Christmas and the new year, and between camping trips and BBQ’s in the sun, we came up with an interesting idea.

So we’ve spent the past month working on moving all of our pages and information to a new format, with a very similar look to our old site, so that it’s still us – the only difference in that we’ve now added more functionality by adding a blog!
So you shouldn’t be lost for too long – all of our same information is available here, although it’s now in the links along the top of the page instead of down the side.

So never fear, we are the same old site, just with a new face, which will hopefully let you all get to know us even better as we will be blogging regularly throughout 2012.
